The driving is solid enough and - excusable AI weirdness aside - the racing is as well.
Unfortunately single player content is pathetically thin, worse that even GT7 was at launch. Pretty much limited to a small collection of themed race series with nothing to distinguish them other than the cars in each. Despite the car list containing plenty of actual racing cars, there are no races for them :/
Other than box-ticking each event, there's absolutely no sense of progression. Developers seem to have abandoned much of the 'game' from racing titles.

I did wonder if that was it.
I got to the end of the tutorial cup last night and thought it looks pathetically light.
Surely there's all the content in place to do something like a career mode with contracts and teams, rivalries etc etc. Would be great to get proper series licensing and annual calendars, race weekends blah blah.
All feels like something made by someone who's never been to a race before.
It looks pretty and I much prefer the physics to GT7 but that's not enough to keep me engaged for more than a few hours.
Edit: I also wish something like this would seriously take on something like iRacing - not necessarily for realism but it wouldn't take much to add in weekly series, irating / safety rating equivalents and put more work into wheels working properly with it.
Only done a couple of races on Forza so far but I've enjoyed them so looking forward to getting more into it over the rest of the week.
